Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
还有一个感动我的，房车营地营地有人去世，每个人都往火堆里扔她最喜欢的石头，费恩扔进去了一块巨大的。
震撼度不如当时看《骑士》那么强烈，缺少了一股狠劲。之前看过一个赵婷谈马力克的《新世界》对她创作的影响，这部片子里有更多效仿马力克拍人与自然的镜头调度，但是其中有一些成为了这部片子的减分项，因为她们两者的落脚点是不同的，马力克希望我们关注的是个体之上的宇宙，而赵婷更像是宇宙之下的个体，所以她通过给置身于广袤无垠中的科恩嫂中景的那些镜头所营造的氛围，比起树林里的几个马力克调度，要对这个主题表达更有效。不过整体还是胜在质感，以及四平八稳的铺陈和人物塑造，减少对白通过镜头来交代心态变化也做得很干净利落和清晰，确实拍的挺扎实
这不是浪漫的公路之歌，而是献给不得不离开的人们。驱逐至边缘，流离失所的状态下，或许才能体会最大的迷惘与自由。
就我而言，这个故事本身的意义要大于影像魅力，影片平实地展示了游牧民的生活，讲述边缘化的困顿，个体归属和自由，相当安静，就像掷入篝火的石头，但除此之外我见不到再多本应引起注视的问题了
感情落脚点被角色直接讲出来，这很扣分。。剪辑节奏重复，每个段落卡点很准，配乐也是。。印象最深的是亚马逊的巨型仓库
总之是好电影！
流浪远方 流浪
星辰都是独行者
它那炳耀金颜蒙上阴翳
Authentic and hardcore. 女主与天地往来，与同类往来，但也不得不依靠快餐店甚至亚马逊的seasonal job获得最主要的收入，也不得不在最困难的时间求助于中产阶级。我觉得本片本身的cinematography再说，其最大价值在于“仅仅把镜头对准某样东西，你就在做某种表态了。这是不可避免的，因为你为它增加了一个视角。”这是个用fiction作为体裁的纪录片。
我们都在路上，下个路口见~
在不朽诗篇里与时同长
路上就是方向，有方向就有动力，为什么所有人看起来都如此笃定？
而你如仲夏繁茂不凋谢
纪录片不是文艺电影。Nomadland是从nomad游民来的，翻译成无依之地，文艺到完全错误，女主强调：我不是homeless，只是houseless——我不是没有home家（依），我只是没有house房子，房子不是家，不是依，我有所恋，所以有所依。这文艺腔显然从《老无所依》来，但跟《老无所依》比，真的好意思夸这电影好么？前面大半段弗兰西斯用影后演技建立起来的贫苦形象忽然大段引用莎士比亚开导小年轻，搞不懂这电影到底要以小见大反映社会还是悲悯地讲述一个找别扭的失败女性，这两者单拍都是好的，可混在一起，那就成了荒谬的调和矛盾，始终找别扭是讨厌但伟大的，可因为有一群人这样、有体制原因这样，女主变成了纯粹的zuo——为什么要这样找别扭？而体制困境因为有找别扭的人变得不再冷漠刻毒，是你要找别扭啊！赖谁
这得多坚强的心 才能一直坚持这样的生活状态
像自己的未来，也会是很多人的未来，迷茫孤独但却自由富足
我也不是一无所有，我会整理好自己的行囊继续前进。
配乐太妙了……
“这种生活最吸引我的一点，就是不会有诀别。”
